From my little understanding of bubble charts BTC is being unloaded by the bigger players,
My guess is the bigger players are trying to get in not out.

If BTC was a stock the board would be issuing more shares like Tesla. But no one can issue more BTC. The rate of new BTC is known, constant, and small.

There may be a crash in the derivatives of BTC but not BTC. I expect to hear a large whale is beached because someone in the organization decided it was smart to write billions of contracts to deliver BTC which cannot be delivered and marked to market results in billions $ lost.

This is reminiscent of the sub prime market when Kyle Bass was buying insurance against losses for loans he didn’t own. It’s one thing for me to buy life insurance on my life, it’s another thing when a million people buy life insurance on my life. I wouldn’t want to be me then.

Yes, as 2% of the small gathering controls 80-90% of the coins, the 2% must sell, in order that bitcoin phase-change from creation, to feudalism, to democracy.

Since creation 2008, bitcoin had to and did transition to current state, of advanced feudalism, and Creator willing, pricing rises, 2% encourage to <<unload>> some, so that more can engage, thus democratic.

With btc, we might be witnessing not a ballyhoo idea expressed as a bubble, but an insurrection, a struggle between classic good and biblical evil, thriftiness vs fiat, etc etc

People are voting thumbs up- / down- as we deliberate, and goodness is getting distributed, else the bubble cannot possibly get big, bigger, and biggest, once per several generation, a trade of the century.

IMO, bitcoin engagement is not a question of "if", but of "how much"

As the 2% <<unload>>, more will have engaged, increasing buy-in as well as liquidity, and deepening capacity store for potential energy, and

as regulations are put in place, likely at on- / off-ramps, and not much to do w/ the codes, institutions can gather more tightly, to front-run the next eager crowd of retail believers.

Those who choose to buy now are not only front-running the true retail to come, but the institutions gearing up.

Above be one possibility, and explanation.

BTC is a pure cerebral creation, a protocol of genius, monetary poetry, and change-catalyst of history.

BTC is QuickerGold, MoreGold, BetterGold, and BitGold. Since my engagement w/ the faith the gains allows me, if realised, to increase my gold by ~10%, and that is material to me. I shall struggle to hold steady until, say, I can expand my gold by 100%.

It is no longer a question of "why not just buy bitcoins?", but "why would anyone sell bitcoins?"

or just a bubble, as were every other bubble, including all fiat money, per nature of money, that <<Money is Memory>> Message 33111893
